2016 takes another... Bobby Vee RIP

[TrevorR]

Another top voice of the early years of rock and roll has gone. Maybe never in the league of the Presley's, Vincent's etc but he recorded some fine tunes.

73 is no age either. Always loved his version of 'Take good care of my baby', one of Carole King's best pop songs.
RIP.

I saw him a few years back at the Ready Steady 60's show at the London Palladium. His son was playing bass. RIP

Yep, a part of Rock history.
I too liked his version of [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]'Take good care of my baby',[/font][/color]
RIP

Walking with my Angel is my favourite - a great tune.

Sad loss. My mum was always a fan, and as kids, grew to know many of his big hits.

Sorry to hear that he's gone...I used to work with a fella who would hum/whistle/sing just the opening line to "Take good care of my baby" leaving it in my head for the rest of the day - used to drive me crazy....

Sad loss...
